Biohazard: Degeneration

"A perfectly realistic story on bio-terrorism."

Biohazard: Degeneration (aka Resident Evil: Degeneration) is the first full length CG animated film fully based upon the Resident Evil game series. Starring the hero (Leon S. Kennedy) and heroine (Claire Redfield) of Resident Evil 2 (for Play Station), Degeneration is a film much anticipated by fans. Please note that the live movie trilogy is unrelated to the games beside the borrowed character names and the fate of Raccoon City.

Story:
There are quite a bit of background story to understand if one wish to fully understand the movie. Taking place seven years after the events in Resident Evil 2 (one year ... after the event in Resident Evil 4), the demands to reveal the truth of what happened at Raccoon City continues to heat up and an extremist ended up threatening to release the T-Virus to all major cities around the globe, turning all population into zombies.

A few years after Resident Evil 2, the company responsible for the outbreak in Raccoon City (Umbrella Cooperation) was in complete ruin after their stock prices plummeted and legal proceedings against them. After the downfall of the Umbrella Cooperation, many ambitious businesses try to take over the leftover viruses invented by the company which lead to many political and social unrest. The story in this movie will be focusing on one of these companies that took over what's left of Umbrella Cooperation.

Animation:
As stated earlier, the film is fully animated in CG thus fans can expect the familiar faces to remain the same as in the games (though I find Leon's face slightly different than in Resident Evil 4).

In terms of animation quality, it is without a doubt better than the cut scenes from Resident Evil 4. But there are still much room for improvement. Take this, this, or even this for comparison, there are simply much better CG films out there. Resident Evil: Degeneration simply can't beat this level of CG.

*note* In case people are wondering, the images above are from Mobile Suit Gundam MS IGLOO 2: Gravity of the Battlefront.

Sound:
While the ED song is nothing out of the ordinary, the sound effects in the movie is very worth mentioning. The gun fires, explosions, even the water rushing sounds are very realistic. In terms of the character voice acting, it should not be a surprise that the main voices are the same as the games (ie. Leon is voiced by Paul Mercier, who is the VA in Resident Evil 4). There is a Japanese dub version as well for those who enjoy Japanese voicing over anything else (but I have yet to see that version, so I'll not comment on it for now).

Character:
In addition to the return of Leon and Claire, we also see other familiar faces from the games (not going to spoil it for you, go watch it yourself). But perhaps what was most disappointing was that Ada Wong (Leon's "partner" in both Resident Evil 2 and 4) did not show up to aid him. Other than that, everything else is pretty average with a decent among of character development and backgrounds for the main movie characters.

Final Thoughts:
As a Resident Evil fan since its debut in the mid 90s in Japan, I had very high expectations for this game. In some sense, it gave me most of what I wanted to see. Although there's just so much more room for improvement ranging from the graphics to character to story plot.

Lastly, I would like to say after what Leon had been through in Resident Evil 4, the event in this movie should be child's play for me (at least there's no chainsaw or nasty parasites this time :P)

I'm a huge Resident Evil fan, and I've been waiting for Capcom to jump into the film business for a long time. That said, this movie really feels more like a long trailer for the upcoming RE:5 than an actual movie. The story's basically the same thing as most of the games: two characters, Leon and Claire, are propelled through a series of action packed gunfights with zombies and all sorts of twisted T and G virus mutants. While some of the earlier fight scenes are nice, the latter half of the movie has a dreadful amount of drama in it. I ... watched the dub, which was just horrid. Besides the fact that the lip synching was really off, which I kind of expect when it comes to CGI anime, the faces weren't able to hold a wide range of features, and that makes all the characters look like dolls when they're trying to convey emotions.

The art itself was decent. It's certainly no more advanced than Square Enix's previous Final Fantasy movies. Degeneration actually looks a lot more like a really nice X-box 360 ingame cutscene to be honest. Lets face it: these graphics are really only a little bit better than the game will look. The graphics on this movie are pretty sorry for a movie coming out recently. Some of the characters have rather jerky animations, too, and it gets really noticeable when you see the crowds. Some things look really fantastic in this, though: billowing fire and explosions in particular.

The sound was decent, I have no real complaints. It didn't wow me or anything, but it got the job done. Some of the instrumental music was decent, but the guitar riffs in some of the later parts of the movie weren't really necessary.

Character is where it gets interesting, sort of. If you're already a RE fan, there's a few nods to the players out there. Once again, Claire gets stuck with the kid, while Leon's off attempting to seduce the lady-cop, Angela. Leon's aide Hunnigan has a cameo, but the real lady every fan would want to see never makes an appearance. I don't know why Capcom chose to keep Claire from really getting into the action like Leon (she goes through almost half of the movie without a weapon), but I thought it was a really poor decision.

I had fun with this, but I'd imagine that if I weren't already a fan of both horror movies (not that this was all too gory) and Resident Evil, I wouldn't have cared for it as much. Still, its not too bad, and its a good way to get friends to watch anime (possibly).

Story : 2/10
Dude...this movie was the most cliche thing I have ever seen in my entire nearly-sixteen-years-long life.
When I heard that a full Resident Evil movie was to come out a few months ago, I was kinda hyped. But, after watching this...thing... I have to say that I am mega-disappointed.
The story started rather nice, but after about half an hour it got very very lame. Lots of uber-predictable and silly scenes like, for instance the water-kissing scene or the matrix bullet-time.Not to mention how ... the picture with Angela's family popped up 2 times in the perfect place, right on time to trigger a lame dramatic bulls**t scene.
Everything just sucked. If you don't believe me, just watch the movie. You'll understand.
I mean, I'd rather watch a bad Lorenzo Lamas action movie.

Art : 9/10
If it weren't for the nearly-flawless art, this movie would have been a perfect failure. The CG-style was awesome, and was, in my opinion the only good thing about this movie. Because of the art, I won't consider that I lost an hour and a half of my life. If only every part of this movie were as good as the art...

Sound : 3/10
Besides Leon's superficial and "bad-a**" voice acting , which failed miserably, I really liked the ending song. It was great... NOT !
I mean, come on. Something like Papa Roach or Mudvayne would have fitted a lot better with the ending. Not that pop-rock-like song.
Also, what was with the super-modern cellphones that had some old brick-like phone monophonic ringtone? And how come at the end, everyone had their clothes and hairstyles absolutely identical ? Like, what the f**k? Didn't they shoot, tumble, swim and jump throughout the whole damn movie??

Character : 4/10
What happened to the cool Resident Evil 4 Leon? What's with this Arnold Schwarzenegger-like guy? The only thing that was similar to the movie Leon and the RE4 one, was his leather jacket and the hairstyle.
At least Claire was okay (besides being slightly retarded).

Enjoyment : 3/10
All I have to say for this part is that, after the first 45 minutes, I was eager to finish it faster. And that can't be a good thing when watching a movie. If it wasn't Resident Evil I wouldn't have watched it all the way.

Overall : 4/10
Overall, this movie blew. If you're not a hardcore die-hard Resident Evil fan, don't watch it. There are lots of other horror movies that you'd be better off watching; like for example :

Dark Water, Shutter, Saw and even the Silent Hill movie, which was pretty bad.
Or better yet, go watch all three Resident Evil movies, because they can't even be compared to this piece o' trash.

Well im not gonna give this movie a review straight tens. nothing's that perfect >_>, but im not gonna slaughter is and give it 1-2's, ive seen far worse.

Lets start off with the Story, zombies roaming around? leon and claire kicking some ass? include a new character here and there and bring back the favourite bosses from resident evil 2. There you have it 1 movie ready to go.
Although it wasn't a brilliant piece with the story, it was acceptable, going with the trend of main character leon rampaging through zombies with abit if bullet-time motion wasn't bad at all. i admit, this was'nt ... the masterpiece that obviosuly some people expected, but it was a valid sequel to the games. world is on the verge of crisis, and you have the main characters defeat bosses, and whole horde of zombies. worth watching for zombie/resident evil fans, but dont expect too much.

As for the Art, in terms of CG i have yet to see better. i personally found this absolutely outstanding. but saying that, the fact it isn't played by real people tones down the horror to the movie. From the games i got huge suspense and true horror from playing leon and claire, even with resident evil movies i got scared slightly. you wont get the same feeling with a CG movie, it's all for the action. we'll just have to wait for next gen CG when we can't tell the difference between real acting and CG!

As for Sound, i dont know if it's because the animation was molded to fit japanese speech, but most of it was fairly poor voice acting combined with CG. most of the time, both of which never fitted together. sayign that though, leon's voice was acceptable, it fit his chacacter and it was more or less the same to Resident evil 4, far more mature.
And for the music at the end, it was a poor song overall. i dont personally like it, but im sure some of you out there might like it. nothing to put you down on watching the movie though. (i dont think most of you will put off watching a movie because the credit music was abit rubbish, right?)

Well, coming from a movie i dont really expect much chacacter development. but for claire i felt deeply disappointed. she played such a big role in the games, and sometimes cooperated with leon as well. i really wanted to see that incorporated in the movie. she was also really played down as a self surviving woman. the producers most of the time didn't give her a gun or proper weapon? she was more of a damsel in distress! (but most people know she's amazing in the games).
Leon i dont really have much of an opinion over, he kept to his protognaist role and did a fine job of it, more than happy with that. as for the "new" characters one word that descibes them best "lame" and maybe a second, "sterotypical". you have a bossy stuck up senator. Arnie cop that wants all the point blank shots and gets owned >_>, and lastly the hot cop that fills the role for claire. saying that Angela wasn't bad to look at for 2 hours of the movie lol :P

Overll, i really enjoyed this movie. that's probably because im a zombie/horror/action movie fan, but regardless it's definately a movie worth a watch.

I'm a big Resident Evil fan (loved all the games) and so was looking forward to Degeneration. But it was quite disappointing. While the CG art was decent (the characters looked great), the story was uninspired and character development was somewhat rushed.

Flashbacks didn't flesh out each character's identity in full and there was needless development of a romantic possibility between two characters.

To put it in a few words to encapsulate how I felt about it: Degeneration is nothing more than a series of gameplay cut scenes stitched together in a way which wasn't fulfilling enough.

Should you watch it if you're a Resident Evil ... fan? Why not? You won't hate it but I doubt you'll find it a masterpiece as well. Should you watch if you're new to Resident Evil? I would say.. only if you have the time. There are much better animes out there and your time might be better off spent catching them instead.

The show has pretty much the same feeling as the video games. They have us slipping between different characters, making all three of them feel like the main character. They also have Claire in her always pretty looking; somehow, she never seems to get dirty even when a plain crashes about a foot away blowing up almost everything. It has everything we need from a horror movie, guns, zombies, tention, and a bit of Romance.

I want to say one thing about one of the characters, I cannot STAND Senator Ron Davis. He’s a jackass and buts into everything. They did a really good job ... in making look as stuck up and snobby as most fat politicians (no offence to those in that department). I do have one problem with him and that is that I think I have seen him somewhere else and it wasn’t in the Resident Evil storyline.

Now, I actually really like Clare, and I also liked the girl that pretty much looks like her, Angela Miller. She has a bit of the same spunk as Clare has, though at times, she feels just like a copy of Clare.

They stay pretty close to the storyline of the games and that’s one thing I really love about this. It keeps true and though I haven’t played all the games, it feels like a branch of the games like you can’t watch without knowing the games.

Well, the animation feels like one big cut scene actually. But it’s not saying that it’s not good. The animation texture is really well done, making people actually look real, and that’s were we get some problems. The characters look almost too real and so when the movements feel choppy, it takes away from it. The clothing also feels a bit stiff and glossy which again makes things feel a little off. I actually like when the textures became dark and dirty because then it felt much more real. The bright look didn’t look right.

Voices are pretty good though the matching of the lip-sink isn’t all that great. There really isn’t much excuse on that part though since the language was actually first English.

Finally a great Resident Evil movie, it's about time.

I saw this in the video store and decided to check it out. I've waited so long for a good Resident Evil movie. The first one was decent but nothing special. The second was really bad, and the third could have been good but ended up being terrible.

It wasn't until Capcom decided to make their own movie, animated through CGI that we got a good RE movie. The story is a hell of a lot better than the life action movie following some terrorist releasing the T-Virus, and corporate espionage.

The main characters are Leon and Claire from ... Resident Evil 2. The are clearly brought to life through CGI. Along with other great characters you end up caring for. The voice acting is really well done, a excellent job.

The CGI is breathtaking and is truly life like.

Overall skip the bad fake Resident Evil movies and see the real life one, that you'll love whether you're a fan of the games or not.

When I say the teaser trailer for this movie a year or so ago, I nearly crapped by pants in anticipation. I grew up with the video game series and I remember long, dark nights of sitting in front of my TV with my Playstation running Resident Evil 1. This is, as I stated in my About Me section, my favorite video game franchise. After Screen Gems took a huge runny dump over the series with the 3 live action movies, I was begging God for a CGI movie. Square Enix did it with Final Fantasy VII so why couldn't Capcom do it with RE? ... Well thank God they did. I bought this movie on it's release day and I must say, it more then lived up to my expectations. It made me forget about the 3 live action abominations and for once, it felt like I was watching the games come to life. The story centers around Leon and Claire from Resident Evil 2 but I won't get into the plot. The animation is great, even though it feels more like a CGI cutscene from the games at times. The characters are well acted and portrayed the way they should be..except for Leon just because he seems like a mannequin at times. Alyson Court returns to play Claire just as she has in RE2 and RE:Code Veronica. Paul Mercier also returns from RE4 to once again play the voice of Leon which is fantastic fan-fare. The music is stellar once again, as all Resident Evil soundtracks are. It's not as action-packed as I had hoped, with a long section of the movie just leading up to the finale. Let me talk about the finale for a minute. It's incredible. I won't spoil it but it plays out just like EVERY Resident Evil game's finale has, pitting our heroes against an unforgiving mutation. Typical Resident Evil style and that's what we F'ing love! Overall, I would have liked to have seen more of the characters from the RE universe make a come back, but I guess they did in Resident Evil 5. Long story short, Capcom really knows how to treat their fans =)

well...the story was ok..i kinda looked up to this cg movie..i can't say i'm THAT pleased with it..but i'm not disappointed either...animation was great and the soundtrack pretty nice..i give a 10 for action scenes...ok..in other terms..i'd really love a dmc cg movie..xD pls capcom!

Webster's defines the word Anime as, "a style of animation originating in Japan that is characterized by stark colorful graphics depicting vibrant characters in action-filled plots often with fantastic or futuristic themes." So, for those of you questioning if "Resident Evil (or Biohazard) Degeneration" counts as an "Anime", according to the definition, yes. This is a film originating from Japan, with lots of colorful graphics and vibrant characters with an action filled plot with a fantastic and somewhat futuristic theme. It fits the criteria. Is it any good? That's another story...

This is essentially a massive cutscene straight out of a video game connecting "Resident Evil ... 4" with "Resident Evil 5". Loosely at that, too. It has many of the same characters with the same voice actors from the games and if you are unfamiliar with the history and plots associated with the franchise, you might get a little lost. I was a big fan of the "Resident Evil" franchise growing up, but even with my extensive knowledge of the universe this takes place in, I found the whole piece rather forced and pointless from start to end. The plot is basic for the franchise. A zombie outbreak happens at an airport where one of our heroes, Claire Redfield happens to be, and where another, Leon S. Kennedy, soon arrives. It is a re-teaming of the duo from the second game in the franchise, a nice concept for fans, but kind of trivial in the eyes of the uninitiated. From there it's mostly 'splosions, zombies getting shot up, some odd creatures, and a plot that has a few predictable twists that ends up leading to a forced prelude to "Resident Evil 5".

I will grant the film did a decent job with sound effects and graphics in a CG film that comes from a CG source. You really can't complain when a spin off stays true to the look and style of it's source material. It looks and feels like a video game. The same voice actors are used. Also the reason I only watched the English cast, because it's the voices I'm used to hearing. So, I cannot vouch for the Japanese cast. The new characters introduced are all rather pointless, I don't really care if these new people survive or not, and I knew for a fact that the main characters from the game will and that the bad guys would not win. Emotional investment was non-existent.

Overall, this film is a love letter to "Resident Evil" fans designed to wet our appetites for the next game and indulge in a little nostalgia. Aside from some mildly entertaining action and watching a "Resident Evil" film that stays true to the franchise and doesn't go off a cliff like the Milla Jovovich movies did, it's easily skipped. This movie fails on arrival because you are essentially watching a video game, watching the animators, producers, writers, and director play a video game. And anyone who's ever done so knows there is nothing worse than watching someone else play a video game! 4/10. Skip it. Cheers!

Biohazard: Degeneration (2008)

Biohazard: Degeneration or better yet Resident Evil: Degeneration. A franchise of great games and what sometimes feels the most average of average films. Live actions are great then gets a bit meh. These CGI versions are sometimes great but most often than not just meh. A lot happens during this and not all of it is necessary since it feels like 5 hours compressed into an hour and a half.

The art is very much reminiscent of the older games CGI, especially for cutscenes. I appreciate that this is from 2008 but just feels very lacklustre if I am honest. Nothing really jumps ... at you as amazing even though everything is generally quite nicely animated.

The OST is pretty standard and nothing special. Sounds are pretty good with some nice SFX.

Characters are the very generic let us have a child that could ruin it all, a greedy set of businessmen and emotions causing mayhem. No one really stands out as particularly great.

It is about as average as it gets. It is not bad in any way but at the same time does absolutely nothing particularly. Feels very much like a game that was turned into a film because they expected it to nose dive.

5/10. Nothing particularly bad or good.

Resident Evil comes full circle in this animated movie. Starting off in the calm before the storm soon a T virus outbreak causes panic and chaos and returning cast characters Leon S Kennedy and Jill Valentine are the only thing to stop them.The story follows a bio terrorist plot to stop the outbreak of a new strain of T Virus.

The whole film is CGI and beautifully motion captured they do a really great job of the whole cinematic experience.The voice cast and sound effects are done well and accompanied by a gripping sound track and score.

This is really what resident evil is all about and ... they do it well. This is a great action film with amazing production value and i really cant describe it much better than amazing. Straight 10s across the board, being a huge fan of resident evil i enjoyed this a lot but even had i not been this film would still be great.

The plot is isolated and doesn't require prior knowledge of the game or live action movies. They keep the experience contained but anyone with prior knowledge gets to see there favorite characters thwart terrorists and kill bio zombies.

To me it wasn't that good, I mean finally getting a resident evil (Biohazard) movie, that was animated in 3d was kinda like a dream of 3 not so good adaptations to the game.

This movie had some of the characters, and the graphics weren't bad, but the story could have had abit more. I felt it was lacking something solid, and more extreme, I mean it just seemed to me, there wasn't enough character development, and it felt rushed in a sense, and was kinda too short.

But that might be because I am not a real fan of resident evil.

Overall the action was decent, and ... I didn't feel like it was a waste of time. So it is worth watching even if it is to admire the graphical engineering of the movie.

The first Biohazard movie done in 3D. I'm not terribly impressed by the animation but it's still well done. I didn't really feel anything from the characters though. I thought Leon and Claire were the couple, especially when she mentioned her boyfriend in the start of the movie. Turns out they paired Leon with the cop in the end. Just didn't feel right about that. The backstory of the cop and her brother seemed a little bit forced too. It's hard for me to imagine that someone would turn himselve into a monster just to reveal a government conspiracy. I also think that the story ... would be better if everything happened in one place instead of going from the airport to the research center, for example just focus on how they get out of the airport. I actually did feel the horror elements in the airport section but not in the research center. Overall it's a decent movie but many areas could've been improved.

Honestly what has the resident evil movie franchise become? We must ask ourselves was Retribution really what we all wanted, I didn't have as much killing as the other resident evil movies, it didn't have much of a plot except escape the base, and it was mostly a setup movie for the next one I mean even though I left satisfied just based on that last pan out to see a horde of mutated monsters attacking a fortress of the capitol building, put a smile on my face as I left the theater.

This particular release of CG resident evil follows one of our beloved ... heroes Leon S. Kennedy, who well is plain awesome.
Story 8/10
This particular installment is a not one, not two, but three part plot, so it has depth, originality though is somewhat lacking in a way that you know what is gonna happen, but it is forgiven since Resident Evil was one of the major zombie franchises, and most zombie movies have the same plot.

Art 7/10
I'm not sure what how to grade art for CG, but it does work well for the adaptation, gives it the video game feel and I never felt wow fail, but what do I know so you can blame me later if you feel you were cheated cause of the bad info.

Sound 7/10
No OP, but the BGM was standard attack of the zombies music, and not bad. The VA was okay Leon sounded like Leon.

Characters 9/10
You get Leon S. Kennedy, Claire Redfield, and a couple of other STARs forces, it is resident evil you get what you expect going in. If you don't know Leon is pretty much giant killer awesome so that is probably the best description I can give.

Enjoyment 8/10
After being letdown time and again by the live-action franchise I feel better about Resident Evil on a whole after watching this, if you are a fan I recommend it, or even new to the series go for it, not a waste of time, though not the best zombie movie out there, I recommend zombieland.

Overall 8/10
Pretty good.

Just so you know, I've watched the original japanese dub.

Animation:
1) the visuals are similar to what you'd expect out of cutscenes from PS3 games.
2) there isn't any horror in this movie and considering this franchise is one of the "founders" of video game horror that we have in the present day it was a let down.
3) When characters are upside down, I expect that their hair isn't immune to physics. Unfortunately this isn't the case. Also, Leon's hair is the only one that barely moves at all when there's wind or movement. I know his hair is shorter than the womens' ... but it's still too long to be frozen in space, if you know what I mean.


Sound:
1) Awesome voice work from the seiyuus.
2) soundtrack and sound effects are okay


Story and characters:
1) all the mediocre hollywood clichés are present into this film. It was awful.
2) the pacing of this movie is all over the place. It starts off awesome and then just sloooooooooooooooooooooooows doooooooooooooooooown. And then we get more action and it draaaaaaaaaaaaaaaags out until the end.
3) SPOILER: Curtis sets his family photo across from the door, sets everything on fire and leaves. The viewer sees a prettly clear shot that this photo cannot be retrieved without a fire extinguisher or something. Later, Leon and Angela arrive at the scene, only to find Curtis' house ablaze. On the ground, several meters from the house in flames, the same picture can be found and it's only partially burnt. There's no flipping way this could ever happen.
4) SPOILER: once Curtis transforms into the big scary monster, Leon states the obvious. He's dead. However, at the "climax" of the movie, Angela drops the impossible-to-get photo and Curtis' takes over the monster momentarily. This was extremely stupid and it just contradicted the franchise.
5) SPOILER: romance between Leon and Angela was so unnecessary and felt out of place
6)SPOILER: Claire's role in the last "arc" of the movie (when she's stuck in the president's room) was almost non-existent. She spent ages in there without doing anything. It would've been better for her to stay unconscious somewhere than waste pointless frames with her doing anything remotely useful.
7) SPOILER: when Leon and Angela are holding onto each other but the big scary monster is also grabbing Angela, it only takes one miraculous Leon bullet to get it to let go. This is really funny because in the first scene after Curtis transforms into the big scary monster, he gets showered with machine gun bullets and he doesn't even bat his eye and it's not like the bullet hit the body part that was grabbing Angela. It was ridiculous in the worst sense.
8) SPOILER: how the heck was Frederic found at the end of the movie????????????????????


I am aware that I spoiled a lot about the story (which you may or may not skip as you read through the review) but I don't think I could explain me giving this movie a 5/10 without adressing the issues I have with the story and characters.

Being a Resident Evil Fan for a long time now, I had high expectations for this film. I had already seen the trailer and pictures from the upcoming CGI film and to me they looked really outstanding. After seeing the film, I was lost for words. I found myself sitting on the edge of my sofa starring at the TV screen, blanking my surroundings out. Along the storyline I was able to clearly understand the characters stance aswell as there basis to why they were acutally part of the film.
The voice actors including "Paul Mercier" as "Leon S Kennedy" were all kept the same ... from pervious Resident Evil titles which I felt worked especially well.
I wasn't at all disapointed with this film, but I can't speak for everyone else as its my opinion alone. I'm so glad this film was made. It was a fantastic and credit goes to the creators, Capcom and voice actors. Well Done!

Leon is so hot! He's one of the fictional characters that i really have a crush on!

Story = 7 - Is nothing new, T-Virus spreads, Leon goes in, kicks some zombie ass with the help of Claire. Cleon 4lyf!

Art = 9 - CGI and motion capture is an amazing thing, it's so life like that it feels like everyone there is a real person. AND THAT DODGE/PARKOUR SCENE! Leon is so cool...

Sound = 8 - because the Resident Evil is a horror game, so the BGM is creepy and scary, not that scary but, it can surprise you at times.

Characters = 9

Leon Scott Kennedy - ... my husband! I wouldn't mind having a hundred of his babies. This is after RE4 because, Leon is working as an Agent for the White House, whatever personality he had at RE4 ,he loses it because, he is very serious here. After working with Ashley, who wouldn't lose their personality?

Claire Redfield - Claire!!!! The last time i saw her was in RE2, i didn't play the Veronica games. Claire chose a different path from Chris and Leon, instead of fighting and killing zombies, she helps people by becoming a humanitarian, though she can still kick some zombie butt.

Angela Miller - an original character here. She's with SRT, she's looking for her brother, Curtis.

Curtis Miller - had the G-Virus and turned into a monster.

Enjoyment = 8 - after watching the Live action movies, this RE movie was much superior. It feels like your playing the video game itself.

Overall = 8 - It's good! Leon and Claire reunited and kicking some ass. The mini RE2 flashback was so nicely revamped. The story isn't new but, if you didn't like the live action movies, this movie might be for you.

This movie is so fucking boring dude. Even the worst resident evil cutscene never made me sleep this hard.

I hate when a game studio makes movies based on their franchise and chose a setting for their movie that is the least conducive possible for the franchise's strengths to be taken advantage of. It's like all the most uninteresting in-between-game Wikipedia trivia rolled into one plot that you end up reading like Cliff Notes in order to understand the context behind that secret ending of the franchise's spin-off game. Only less important.

It's the same for the Paul W.S. Anderson movies but... as bad as those ... movies supposedly are, they couldn't possibly be this unentertaining, right?
